The Power of Silence: Responding to Disrespect

If you are outside and someone came and say something to you ? The words could be very hurtful what should we do ? Should we react , should we push back or should we just be silent and ignore the whole situation.

Most of the time it happens in our life people come with some negative vibes might they had a bad day, and try to be more dominant and insertive on you ? And you feel i dont deserve to be heard that thing , instead of reacting just let that be and ignore the person and see how the other person feel ?

Within few seconds they feel they should not say that or if they are dominant and want to control you, they would be very hurt and see themselves as shameless that we did not respond because we don’t value them in our life. We have our dignity and credibility not to be respond, JUST SHOW AND NOT TELL.

So before making friends, hanging out with others just for the sake to put on the social media, it does not mean you are empty from inside. If you are happy with the other person to hang out but if in any instance you feel ignored or be control just make a distance and ignore them completely.

We are no one to explain the situation or defend ourselves, just ignore the person and see what happens ? So saying nothing says everything to the person.

What if you are in a situation in your relation and the other person is not sure about you and putting all the allegations on you or accusing of something in a crowd of people ? What would you do ?

Just repeat the same words and see how the person reacts ? So sometimes it’s important to realize the other person that RESPECT has to be both ways, if one is disrespectful the other person would take a couple of seconds and do the same what you did ? Just make sure your tone has to be neutral rather than emphasizing or putting pressure on some words.

What actually happens when we don’t react and ignore the person. If you give some time to the other person, the person will have time to think what just happened and the chances are very high they would come and apologize you.

So it’s up to us how we react because YELLING on someone is very easy and it easily gives you boost to your brain that you did right but the thing is it’s just for the short term. If you want to play a long run or long term just IGNORE and see how the person feels.

It would give you another level of satisfaction. I know it’s very difficult and when you come back you will think about that person might it would bother you as well but trust me if you want to mentally strong just IGNORE and dont overthink and leave the situation where it was.

ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS so never forget this thing.
